How and where to use guide
3.6Mtr X 47 X 225mm C24 Treated Regularised KD Carcassing Timber
Structural applications
C24 timber is suitable for load-bearing applications where structural strength is required. It is commonly used for floor joists in residential and commercial buildings, where it supports floor loads and distributes weight to supporting walls or beams. It is also suitable for roof battens, ceiling joists, and structural framing in stud walls.
- Floor joists in residential and commercial buildings
- Roof battens and ceiling joists
- Stud walls and structural framing
- Lintels and beam support applications
Outdoor and exposed use
The pressure-treated preservative provides protection against rot and decay, making this timber suitable for outdoor construction. It is commonly used for decking frames, garden structures, and external cladding support. The treatment ensures long-term durability even when exposed to moisture and weather.
- Decking frames and outdoor platforms
- Garden structures and pergolas
- External cladding support and battens
- Fence posts and outdoor framing
Advantages over lower grades
C24 timber offers enhanced performance compared to C16 carcassing timber. It has superior load-bearing capacity, fewer knots, and improved stability. This makes it the preferred choice for applications where strength and reliability are critical, or where timber movement must be minimised.
- Higher load-bearing capacity than C16 timber
- Fewer knots and improved grain consistency
- Better dimensional stability and reduced movement
- Suitable for more demanding structural applications
